Dinh Bac 'freshly' presented to U.23 Vietnam
On the afternoon of November 28, the U.23 Vietnam team welcomed three important faces including striker Dinh Bac and two defenders Ly Duc and Minh Phuc, after helping the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) have an important 2-1 victory over the Beijing Club at AFC Champions League 2.
The excitement and confidence of these three players that coach Kim Sang-sik is looking forward to can be seen. Especially young striker Dinh Bac has a very good mental state with the goal in the 90th minute that sealed the thrilling 2-1 victory against the Chinese representative.
That could be the turning point for Dinh Bac when he has "opened the barrel", scoring his first goal for CAHN Club this season, after a period of waiting since the beginning of the season, partly due to bad luck in finishing.

Dinh Bac's excited mental state will be a good boost for the U.23 Vietnam attack, which will enter the opening match of SEA Games 33 in just a few days with the mission clearly stated by coach Kim Sang-sik: "score as many goals as possible" against U.23 Laos.
Mr. Kim appreciates CAHN Club and Coach Polking
Before the afternoon training session on November 28, coach Kim Sang-sik was clearly happy when he welcomed the 3 CAHN club players who took an early flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City to present themselves and have their first training session with U.23 Vietnam.
The 1976-born coach expressed his gratitude for the beautiful gesture of CAHN Club, dividing the troops for the national team even though on December 3 there will be a particularly important decisive match at Buriram United Stadium (Thailand) at the ASEAN Club Championship.

"I thank Coach Polking and CAHN Club. Initially, 3 players of this club could not join the team today. But in the end, CAHN Club created conditions for them to join. The team let the players join early for Vietnamese football," Mr. Kim shared.
Thus, for the first time since the important training session in Ho Chi Minh City, the U.23 Vietnam team has a full squad of 28 players. It is expected that the team will have an internal match on the afternoon of November 29 before Mr. Kim officially decides on the 23 names to participate in the 33rd SEA Games.
At this moment, U.23 Vietnam is witnessing a fierce competition, with 10 names jostling for the attack line. Dinh Bac's "opening of the goal account" will help coach Kim Sang-sik feel much more confident when facing the problem of choosing players that makes him "lose sleep".

At the beginning of the training session, coach Kim Sang-sik proactively asked about the group of 3 CAHN club players, Dinh Bac, Ly Duc and Minh Phuc, who had just joined after the victory in the AFC Champions League 22.

Dinh Bac is in a very good mental and physical state. He scored a beautiful goal to help CAHN Club have an important victory against Beijing Club, after convincing Coach Polking to "give the green light" to join U.23 Vietnam soon.

The G-hour is very close. The players practice under the close supervision of the coaching staff. After the practice session on November 28, the U.23 Vietnam team will have an internal match before coach Kim Sang-sik selects the final 23 names to participate in the 33rd SEA Games.

Thanh Nhan and Le Viktor are two of the 10 names competing for a position in the U.23 Vietnam attack. This gives Mr. Kim many choices, but also makes the Korean coach so nervous that he can't sleep.

Young talent Le Phat (2007) is very confident in the training session with his teammates - who are 4 years older than him. Recently, the striker who many experts compare to having a playing style similar to Mbappe has been given the opportunity by Ninh Binh FC to play regularly on the field. If he can maintain this playing pace, he has a bright future ahead...

... and then Van Thuan. These are two young talents of Thanh Hoa football who have just joined Ninh Binh FC. Both of these players have scored in the V-League 2025 - 2026 as well as for U.23 Vietnam recently. Who will Mr. Kim choose?

Thanh Nhan (pink bib) and Tuan Phong compete for the ball with Thanh Trung (blue bib) in a ball control exercise that requires quick execution, few touches and players to move continuously. The quality of passes today was very high.

Vi Hao followed Van Khang's pass. These are two members who, together with coach Kim Sang-sik, won the AFF Cup 2024 championship, with many starting matches. Vi Hao alone scored for the Vietnamese team in this tournament.

In one corner, the goalkeepers are practicing very actively. In the photo, goalkeeper Trung Kien is making a brilliant save when the ball is in the control of Cao Van Binh, who is the main goalkeeper and is a good goalkeeper for SLNA this season.

The players' enthusiasm and concentration can be seen in the training session on the high-quality grass of Ba Ria Stadium, a familiar meeting place of U.23 Vietnam. It is expected that the whole team will move to the center of Ho Chi Minh City on November 30.

Mr. Kim prepared the sand table for the closed practice session after the media and press left Ba Ria Stadium. Everyone was holding their breath waiting for the Korean coach to make the difficult decision of saying goodbye to 5 students, finalizing the 23 official members of the U.23 Vietnam team participating in the 33rd SEA Games.
